Well, there's no getting around it: the world is still cray. But we're here to talk about how we can get through it together, and try to find the positives along the way. In the last week: Laura tried (unsuccessfully) to buy toilet paper online, Andrew's city of Chicago has been ordered to shelter in place, and #Millennial hosted a coffee break video stream that was open to any and all to participate. Things to know currently: watch your credit cards for fraud during the COVID-19 crisis, US tax ...

Cooped up inside with nothing to do? So are we. We're all in this together!

#Millennial is here to remind you to wash 👏🏼 your 👏🏾 damn 👏🏻 hands 👏🏿, but also to tell you about our drunk shopping habits. As COVID-19 (coronavirus) spreads, the stock market plummets and Orange Julius doesn't think this is a big deal (but still wants to stimulate the economy just in case). We bid adieu to Elizabeth Warren's 2020 campaign, and raise a Bud Light to our favorite progressive. 23% of Americans admitted to making drunk purchases in the last 12 months, but millennials are th...

"And then there were... 5." #Millennial is here to tell you everything you need to know to cut through this week's bullshit. If Laura's student loan repayments aren't re-certified, do they even exist? The stock market yoyos in the face of coronavirus, and we wonder if now is a good time to buy, or if the economy will survive long enough to justify such investments. As a panel that doesn't consist of any medical professionals, our best advice for avoiding coronavirus? Don't be nasty. But for real...

Your favorite friends are back, and unlike Mike Bloomberg, we're not here to buy your attention! Laura met with a personal trainer and is still sore, and Andrew and #Millennial Social Media Manager Jule finally met in person! Does anyone ask permission to recline their seat on planes?

Got primary season hangover already? Don't worry, we've got you, fam. What happened while we were on break? Caucuses, acquittals, and viruses, oh my! While we've been off, Andrew has had a brief love affair with LA, Laura has delayed filing her taxes (fight the power), and Pam learned some of the legalities behind scattering human remains in public.

Welcome back to #Millennial, where the adulting is pretend and the talk is real! Is that a new theme song we hear? And a new tagline? We've been hard at work putting together some fun changes for our 6th season, and we can't wait to share them. Speaking of being hard at work during the winter holidays, the President opened the world up to a US-Iran military conflict, and climate change deniers are literally down to let the world burn. We react to Trump's airstrike against Qassem Soleimani and di...

What are we thankful for this year? Marie Yovanovich and Fiona Hill. SCOTUS declines to review the famous case of Adnan Syed, which is credited with legitimizing podcasting as a medium.
